Summary
This guideline provides the most current information available on the disassembly, inspection, reuse, and assembly of
water pump components used in C175 and Series 3500 Engines. Many times, the installation of new water pump
components is not necessary during an engine overhaul. Normally, used water pump components that are acceptable
according to this guideline can give the same performance as new parts until the next overhaul. Use this guideline as
the only source of reference to determine the reusability of the water pump.
To determine if water pump components can be used again, use the inspection specifications given in this guideline.
Some components that do not meet the inspection specifications can be reconditioned to like new condition. Never
reuse a component that does not meet all the reusability specifications.

Current Water Pumps
Current style water pump groups are used on all Commercial Engines and on all Machine Engines. The current water
pump groups differ from an older style due to updates in the ring assembly, the seal group, and the shaft assembly.
These new components provide the water pump group with increased resistance to damage from shock loads and
leaking that typically occur during shipping, handling, and installation.

Handling Procedure
Correct handling of the water pumps used is necessary critical to prevent damage. Improper handling of the water
pumps can cause cracking of the seal face group. Damage to the face seals may cause the water pumps to leak.
Relative movement between the shaft and the housing may allow the drive shaft to contact the face seal. If contact
occurs, the face seal will be damaged.
To prevent damage to the face seal, follow the proper water pump handling procedures.
• Do NOT move the water pump shaft in respect to the water pump housing.
• Do NOT set the water pump down with the shaft on the ground.
• Do NOT handle the water pump by the shaft.
• Do NOT use a hammer, mount, or other device on the water pump or on the shaft that might cause movement
between the shaft and the housing.
Water Pump Modifications

This section highlights the major modifications to the water pump. The water pumps have been updated over time to
provide a more robust pump. At the time of rebuild an older water pump can be updated to reflect the current
production water pump. The following chart identifies the water pump groups that are direct replacements for the
former water pump groups and which modifications are necessary.

Ring Assembly Modification
To modify the water pump housing to accept the new ring assembly, a hole must be drilled in the housing. This new
hole will accept the pin of the ring assembly. The pin keeps the ring assembly positioned with the opening in the ring
toward the bottom of the installed water pump. This opening allows any fluid that leaks past the water pump seals to
get to the water pump weep port.
Typical ring and pin assembly
The Ring Assembly is used on some water pumps. Some older style 8N-1005 Pump Housings did not originally have
a ring assembly and spring pin. Those pump housings can be identified by the lack of a spring pin hole opposite of
the weeping hole. Pump housings without the spring pin hole must be modified by drilling a 2.5 ± 0.05 mm
(0.09843 ± 0.00197 in) diameter spring pin hole through the water pump housing as shown in illustration 2. To drill
this hole properly, the following drill fixture may be fabricated to align the drill hole accurately. Refer to Illustration
5 for dimensions.

Shaft Replacement
The tapered shaft is not a serviceable part. It must be replaced with a current straight shaft. Refer to the Parts Manual
for the correct part numbers. The impeller that matches the tapered shaft can be modified to fit a straight shaft. Refer
to the section "Impeller Salvage" found within this document.
Seal angle for a 212-8179 Shaft.
Seal angle for a 430-9695 Shaft.
Some water pump models have updated the angle near the oil seal and applied a radius. This new angle is to prevent
damage to the oil seal during assembly. The 212-8179 Shaft has been replaced with the 430-9695 Shaft. Refer to
Illustrations 8 and 9 in this document. If you have the 212-8179 Shaft, then it must be replaced with a 430-9695 Shaft
at the time of rebuild.
Seal Group Replacement
The seal group must be replaced at every rebuild. The current 416-0603 Seal Group is a direct replacement for the
166-4375 Seal Group and the 124-5245 Seal Group found in former water pumps.
Disassembly
Refer to the appropriate Disassembly and Assembly manual for specific instructions.
(1) Sleeve Bearing
(2) Thrust Washer
Example of a hydraulic sleeve bearing puller.
Some pumps have a sleeve bearing (1) installed refer to Illustration 10. The updated thrust washer makes removal of
the thrust washers impossible with the sleeve bearing still in the housing. During disassembly, the sleeve bearing
must be removed first, then the thrust washers unbolted and then the shaft pressed out. The sleeve bearing (1) must be
removed without damaging the pump housing.
Proper support of the water pump housing is critical for a successful disassembly. The use of a steel support plate in
illustration 12 is highly recommended. When pressing the shaft off the impeller and out of the housing the water
pump housing must be fully supported to prevent flexing. If the housing flexes, then the housing can crack and
destroy the housing. Refer to Illustrations 12 and 13 for an example of a supported water pump.

Water pump successful disassembly.
Cleaning Procedure
After disassembly, the water pump will need to be cleaned thoroughly prior to inspection. Use the following steps to
ensure that the various parts are properly cleaned without damaging the parts.
Personal injury can result when using cleaner solvents.
To help prevent personal injury, follow the instructions and warnings

on the cleaner solvent container before using.
Housing and Steel Parts
Use a hot detergent spray or place parts in a high-pressure cabinet washer to clean dirt and grease from the housing
and impeller. Remove any corrosion or debris with steel shot. If steel shot is unavailable, use glass beads with
550 kPa (80 psi) to 620 kPa (90 psi) air pressure. Corrosion and debris can also be removed from the housing with
steel shot blast.
Shaft
Clean the shaft with solvent only. Be careful not to damage the bearing and seal surfaces. An 8T-7748 Polishing
Wheel can also be used to clean the shaft.
Whenever the water pump is removed from the engine, protect the exposed shaft with the plastic from shipping.
Aluminum Parts
The aluminum parts should be cleaned with a steam pressure washer or a high-pressure cabinet washer with an
aluminum-safe solvent. Then remove corrosion and debris with glass beads, 80 to 150 micron (size 10).
Inspection and Salvage Procedures

After cleaning, a visual inspection helps to identify which parts can be reused and which cannot. The three critical
areas of inspection are the housing, the impeller shaft, and the impeller.
Housing
Visually inspect the water pump housing, then measure the sealing bores with a dial bore gauge.
Housing Inspection
First perform a visual inspection on the entire housing. Only use the housing again if it passes the visual inspection.
Inspect for scratches, cracks, dings, damage, corrosion, and pitting. Some slight pitting in the bearing area is
permitted but not in the sealing areas. Next, inspect the O-ring surfaces for nicks and dings. Finally, inspect the
threaded holes for damaged or stripped threads.
Housing Specifications
If the water pump has passed the visual inspection, then measure the diameter of the seal bores. Use the housing again
only if the measurements meet the specifications.

Water Pump Shaft
After cleaning and if necessary polishing dimensional checks of the water pump shaft. Refer to Table 7 for the critical
dimensions.
Former style shafts with tapered area.
The former style shafts as shown in Illustration 15 are not serviceable and must be replaced with a newer style press
in shaft. The tapered shaft is easily distinguishable by the tapered area as indicated in Illustration 15. If the former
tapered style shaft is discovered, then the water pump can still be salvaged. Currently there are three distinct types of
current style shafts, the styles are shown in Illustrations 16,17, and 18.
A current style shaft must replace the tapered shaft. If the impeller is to be salvaged, then the tapered impeller bore
must be machined straight. Salvaging the impeller bore can be found in the "Impeller Salvage" section within this
document.
1. Measure the critical diameters. Refer to Illustrations 16,17, and 18 to find the applicable shaft style.
Current style shafts have critical dimensional areas to check. The critical areas are called out in Illustrations
16,17, and 18. Also, refer to Table 7 for the correct diameters related to the applicable shaft. These dimensions
are critical to obtain a water tight seal and a friction fit at reassembly.
2. Measure runout. Refer to Table 7 for the correct diameters related to the applicable shaft.
Measure runout where referenced in Table 7. A shaft that is out of specifications in runout will potentially
damage seals prematurely, create a water leak, and can cause a low hour failure.

The oil seal diameter can be machined 0.025 mm (0.001 in) undersized.
If the water pump shaft still shows signs of light wear or rust after cleaning, polishing, and inspecting, then an attempt
can be made to machine the shaft. The oil seal diameter portion is the only section that can be machined undersized.
The shaft must be machined using a grinder, do not attempt to machine the shaft with a lathe. If machining the oil seal
diameter, ensure that the following criteria are met:
• Use a grinder wheel that can machine the entire surface of the oil seal. A minimum wheel width of 10.50 mm
(0.413 inch)is recommended.
• Remove as minimal amount of material as necessary to remove the damage to the shaft.
• The shaft can be machined to a minimal diameter 0.025 mm (0.001 in) undersized.
• The surface finish must be within 0.25 to 0.50 microns to be acceptable.
• After machining, the shaft must be polished, cleaned, and measured.
Impeller
The impeller must pass a visual inspection first followed by a bore specification. Only use the impeller again if it
passes both the visual inspection and specification inspection.
Impeller Visual Inspection
(1) Impeller Blade
(2) Seal Face
Excessive damage to impeller bore.
Do not reuse.
Examine the blades of the impeller for damage and wear. Around the fins inspect for excessive damage, pitting,
erosion, wear, and cracked or broken fins. Examine the bore for excessive wear, galling, scaring. Do not reuse an
impeller that has any visible damage or wear refer to Illustration 20. If upon inspection the impeller blades do not
meet reusability specification, then replace the impeller.
• The outside tip of the impeller blades should not have any grooves, scratches, or erosion.
• Check the entire length of each impeller blade for erosion or cracks. Damage to the blades cannot be repaired
and the impeller must be replaced.
• Inspect seal face for pitting, erosion, and scratches. If there is any damage to the seal face, the impeller must be
replaced.
Impeller Bore Specification
The impeller bore must meet certain diameter and surface finish specifications if it is to be reused without machining.
The impeller bore (B) must be within −.05 ± 0.013 mm (0.0020 ± 0.0005 in) larger than the shaft diameter. Refer to
Illustration 21 for the location of the critical bore areas and Table 8 for the critical diameters. Inspect and note the
diameter of bore (A) and bore (B).

Impeller Salvage
An impeller with a tapered shaft can be salvaged and machined to have a straight shaft. The machining operation
involves machining the bore, de-burring the bore, and balancing the impeller.
Critical dimensions for machining the bore
(A) Angle of chamfer: 25°
(B) Depth of chamfer: 1.25 ± 0.25 mm (0.049 ± 0.010 in)
(C) Diameter of bore
1. Machine the impeller bore (C) to the specification listed in Table 8.
2. Machine the chamfer on the top face of the impeller to 25° and 1.25 ± 0.25 mm (0.049 ± 0.010 in) deep.
3. De-burr the sharp edges as needed after machining the bore.
4. The surface finish of the impeller bore should be inspected. The finish should measure 0.8 microns to be
acceptable.
5. After machining the impeller bore, it must be balanced. Refer to the section "Impeller Balancing" within this
document.
If the impeller bore measures less than the minimum size listed in Column (B) of Table 8, then the impeller can still
be salvaged by knurling the inner diameter of the bore. If the impeller has signs of being knurled before, then the
impeller cannot be salvaged and must be replaced. Knurling the impeller bore will raise the metal and make the bore
diameter smaller. The knurling process can be completed by following:
1. Refer to Column (C) of Table 8 to find the minimum bore diameter. Not all impellers can be knurled, those that
can be knurled will have a dimension in Column (C) of Table 8. Machine the inside diameter of the impeller
bore oversize by the dimension listed in Column (C). If the impeller bore measures greater than the oversize
dimension listed in Column (C) before machining, then the impeller cannot be salvaged.
Example of Caterpillar Inc CNC knurling tooling.
2. Using appropriate knurling tooling, apply a cross hatch knurl such that the inner diameter of the impeller bore
is . The exact angle of hatch is not as critical as it is to knurl the entire bore depth. Use a hatch angle between
30° and 60°, it is important to use a hatch at an angle less than 90°. Knurling the entire depth of the bore is
important to ensure equal raising of material to provide adequate friction when installing the impeller onto the
shaft.
Impeller Balancing
One example of a balancing machine setup.
If the impeller bore has been machined or knurled, then the impeller must then be rebalanced. The impeller can be
balanced either statically or dynamically. The impeller must be balanced to within 0.35 grams-meter. Use a drill and
drill bit to remove material as the impeller is balanced. If the impeller is out of balance, it can be balanced using the
following criteria.
Critical balancing dimensions
(A) Radius to drill balancing holes.
(B) Minimum spacing between balancing holes.
(C) Balancing hole.
(B) Minimum spacing between balancing holes.
(C) Balancing hole.
(C) Balancing hole.
There are various styles of impellers, but they are all balanced in a similar fashion. When balancing the impeller, the
relief holes must be centered on the radius and spacing listed in Table 9. Refer to Illustrations 25 ,26, and 27.

Assembly
Refer to the appropriate Disassembly and Assembly Manual for a detailed procedure of the entire assembly process.
This is a condensed version with the intent to highlight critical steps.
1. Install plugs.
2. Install the oil seal.
3. Lubricate the shaft with clean water. Then insert the shaft and thrust washers. Tighten the thrust washer bolts.
4. If a bearing sleeve was removed, install a new bearing sleeve.
5. Flip the housing over. Apply P80 lubricant to the bottom half of the shaft. Using a press, install stationary
portion of the water seal into the housing. Constant force is required when installing the seal to prevent damage
to the seal face.
Do not use a hammer and punch to install the water seal into the housing.
6. Using the 438-8155 Adapter, install the 416-0603 Seal Gp over the water pump shaft by hand with a rotating
motion. Take care not to scratch the face of the seal as it will cause a leak.
7. Place impeller onto shaft. Press the impeller onto shaft with a hydraulic press until impeller and shaft are flush.
